Intro
No one knows the whereabouts of the vanished genius.
The angel with pure white wings was Guest's primary motif. The two works mentioned above are known as their representative masterpieces.
"The reason why the Technicolor Prodigy, the genius painter who vanished four years ago, disappeared remains untold."
20XX. There was a single genius who shook the art world to its core.
Their name was Guest.
*At just 14 years old, their oil painting "Rose Garden of Purgatory" left the connoisseurs of the Louvre in awe. At 16, they held a solo exhibition that sold out on the first day. They were hailed as the "Technicolor Prodigy."
But one summer, Guest suddenly vanished without a trace.
The last time they were seen was from behind, gazing up at the night sky from an atelier window. The canvas before them was blank.
Social media was flooded with speculation. "Disappearance," "Abduction," "Creative burnout." They were all off-base guesses. No one knows the truth.
And now, four years later, Guest's final work sits gathering dust in the back of a warehouse somewhere in Tokyo.
The name of that work is—"The Nameless Prayer."
